It's nothing personal, I just haven't updated the roster period so I'mma need y'all to stop begging about having artists & stuff added when the game is ending soon anyways.

You got thread-banned by the mods for not quitting quietly, then asked to comeback, then quit, and now starting drama? Like, if you're gonna quit then please just exit. There's absolutely no need for you to be bringing drama when Giselle didn't even say anything and you're no longer a player.

Here are some few notes, how in my opinion would improve next season:
1. A prize would be nice, but I'm just not sure what it could be, but just something to fuel players' spirit and motivation.
2. More mini-games.
3. Better season promotion. Send PMs to random people, and explain what's this game about, because only CAL veterans are now playing it, with some newbies stopping by.
4. Less articles. Stick with 10-15.
5. Less beefs and less drama.
6. iHype, be 100% fair next season.
7. New and fresh ideas.

I quit, but this doesn't mean that I can't come into this thread?
I'm not playing anymore, but I'm still interested in this game. Plus, I've got a warning because of Giselle, that's why I shaded her.

When did I say that.
I said there was no need for you to be bringing drama, especially when you're not apart of the game.
If you're still interested then you drop in and compliment and ask questions and such. If you're just trying to beef and start drama then you can exit.

Apparently when someone refuses to exit the thread temporarily, brings moderators into the game, sends PM's of false accusations, and gets themselves permanently banned by moderators it becomes my fault.

He's a good host, if not the best host that we've had so far. In my personal opinion, I think he is the best host so far, because he was punctual and delivered charts every single week on time.
I don't know MUCH about what happened about that VMAs drama thing, but I get this idea that Eric somehow told Robbie that he won something and Robbie didn't believe him and posted some stuff that 'oh, I probably won't win this' and Eric got annoyed by that and Robbie outted Eric after he won VOTY, and Eric got tired of it. And this wouldn't have happened with Eric didn't tell Robbie he won.
Again - I'm not saying he's a bad host or whatever, but this seemed to be unfair, just a bit.
BUT, but, let's not argue about this anymore.

What lmao?
He melted down AFTER THE FACT HE WON. If you won, why would you need to post PM's and still start drama out of nowhere?
That was starting drama. I said the next time he did so he would be temporarily threadbanned; publicly multiple times.
I temporarily thread-banned him. He went to the moderator behind my back accusing me of falsely banning him demanding to be unbanned.
That caused other moderators to get involved; once they found the whole story he got warned and permanently banned.
Him deciding to post PM's after the fact he won both Awards anyways, was shooting himself in the foot and asking for a threadban.
Him going up to moderators and lying, then sending false PM's lying was shooting himself in the foot again, and asking for a permanent threadban.
There was nothing 'unfair' about it. Explain if there was.

Today, European DJ, producer named Calvin Harris took his twitter, and tweeted
So yeah the news broke out, and it’s true now Pixie and Calvin Harris will both take the stage together in tomorrowland 2014. Tomorrowland is a popular 3 day event in Belgium, it features all sorts of dj’s from all over the world, but Calvin Harris wanted to spice things a little bit, by taking a pop star with him, he remixed all of Pixie’s album, and made hot remixes of all the songs, and now they both will headline the tommorowland, it’s a great promotion for miss Lott to promote the album in Europe, and not only in Europe because people from all over the world come to tomorrowland. It’s going to be a fantastic experience, Pixie says, she is very excited and is now already packing her things, and preparing for this event. Pixie has been working in the studio a lot, rehearsing dance moves with her dancers, and also promoting her album. She’s very busy, but still has time for fans, she does everything for them, and she doens’t care if she’s tired or not, she wants t repay the fans for being loyal and always there for her, and her fans love that about her.
Calvin Harris says: I’m a huge Pixie Lott fan I have been following her stuff since 2009 when she debuted, and she is also very hot, tommorowland people will go crazy for this chick. Her new album blew my completely away, so I remixed it, and now I can finally invite her to tomorrowland with me, we are both going and we both going to have so much fun, and it’s all just very exciting. I’ll be playing music, and she’ll be singing her heart out, perfect party anthem her album is now, it was already electro pop, but now it’s a bomb, a bomb full of remixes, and it’s going to be amazing sharing a stage with this sensational pop star. We both are working now on our set list, and just looking for new ideas, rehearsing everything, and just trying to do everything the best, it’s going to be a huge blast, and we both will have a good time, and that’s all that matter in the end.
So there you have it, Calvin Harris loves our girl as much as us, we can’t wait to see Pixie rocking the crowds in tomorrowland, we are just thriller that artist like Calvin Harris took the time to remix and album, and that he actually invited miss Lott to headline the concert with her, now all we need is clips of our girl performing, the tomorrowland it happening this Friday, and we can’t wait to share all the details with all off you, good things are happening, and we are all super excited here at Neptune records, our girl taking the world by storm, little step grew to big steps, and it’s an amazing experience to watch her grow.
Also a lot of people have noticed Pixie and Calvin going out going out together, they spotted them many of times this week, Pixie was with Calvin walkigne everywhere, sitting in cars, making out, and people think that they are dating? Could it be true. Both cwelbs say nothing about it, but there are a few, quite a lot of photos of them in public, if this is true then we are happy, this couple is just way too hot, and could it be that Pixie is using Calvin for tracks, none knows, but they indeed both look amazing, and such a hot couple, we just hope all is good, both seem happy, so we are happy too.

I don't get why someone would post a PM like that when they won the award. If they hadn't I could understand but...

Ellie Goulding on The Voice UK (500+)
Ellie performed her single Asleep on the Voice UK on Sunday. The song just went to #7 on the CAL Single
Chart, selling over 600,000 overall. Ellie's album will be released on Monday so don't forget to buy it then.
Asleep is available on iTunes now, along with two remix EPs. But for now, you can watch the performance
here:
The stage was dark and only one light was shining at Ellie as she stood at the microphone stand. She lifted
up one of her hands and we could see a red apple in it. She took a bite out of the apple and threw it behind
her a few second later. You could hear the apple rolling towards the back of the stage and when it stoped, the
stage got lit up. It was empty but at the back, a large wall filled with pictures of Ellie from magazines and
newspapers was displayed. It looked like a stalker might have made it, there were even some pictures of her made
by a regular camera, meaning that this person was following her. Headlines from newspapers and posters were also
present on the wall.
The music began playing and Ellie sang Asleep. She was wearing a white t shirt, that showed her stomach, and black
shorts. On the side of the stage, the Ellie Goulding logo was shown, along with the Asleep artwork. Ellie picked
out the microphone and waled around the stage, doing extra high notes that weren't in the original song. The
chorus was now playing and Ellie stood in the middle of the stage. Ten dancers appeared and ran in circles around
her. They were holding paint buckets and paint brushes and were dressed in black shorts and black jumpers with hoods.
The dancers spread out but Ellie was still in the middle. The paint buckets were opened and the brushes were dipped in.
They splashed the paint all over the stage and even on Ellie. Her outfit was now covered in blue, yellow, green, orange
and red paint.
The second chorus was playing and one of the dancers handed Ellie a water gun. She pulled the trigger with one hand
and lots of different colors of paints were sprayed out over the audience and the walls. They cheered as Ellie was handed
another gun. This time, the dancers were the ones that were covered in paint. One of them handed her a baseball bat.
The bridge was playing and a dancer threw one of the paint buckets towards Ellie. She hit it with the baseball
bat and walked to the giant stalker wall. She hit it once and made a small hole. She kept on hitting the wall until it
almost fell apart. The song ended and the dancers were once again, circling Ellie. They ran off the stage and she followed
them. The lights were turned off and the audience clapped but almost everyone was covered in paint. The judges were the
only clean people left.
Ellie Goudling on Alan Carr: Chatty Man (600+)
AC: Welcome back. Paloma Faith will be here later but first, give it up for the amazing Ellie Goulding!
Ellie walked down six steps and into the interview room. There was a tree with small lamps hanging behind her.
She sat on a golden couch and he sat an a pink one opposite to her. He poured her a glass of wine and the interview
started.
AC: You're performing your new song here later, and this is from the upcoming album, Gould?
Ellie: It is from the new album but I actually changed the name of it. The album will now be called Dusk. I changed it
because I didn't like the first title and the song Dusk represents the album very well. The tracklist and album cover will
probably be released on Friday or Saturday, along with the iTunes pre-order. I think I'll be dropping it all at once, but
so far, the only song titles that my fans know about are Asleep, Dusk and Last Stand. I can already tell you that none
of them will be the second single.
AC: That's a lot of details that we never heard before. Will this one have five different editions like the others?
Ellie: No, this one will just have the standard and deluxe edition. I doubt it'll have a re-release like Bright Light
...and Halcyon Days...and the Halcyon Days re-release . I've been thinking about making a tour DVD though. It would
help promote the album and the fans would like it.
AC: You should definitely do that, I would buy it *both *. So Asleep is the song you'll be perfoming now, when will
you move onto the next single?
Ellie: This will be the last week of Asleep promo. I'll still perform it live next week, but I'll also be promoting the
promotional singles and the album. The week after that I'll move onto the second single. This could be my first successful
album in the US.
AC: I don't think you realise how big you are in America, your song Lights was huge there and you got to sing with the
president. How did that even come about?
Ellie: After I sang at the royal wedding, people have asked me to sing for them at lots of different events. I don't even
know how it happened but that time I sang Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.
AC: You've come a long way, what was it like when you just started singing?
Ellie: It was difficult at first, I would perform for small crowds or just my family and friends. If you told me back then
that I would be performing on the X Factor or The Voice then... I just wouldn't believe you. After I got signed, Under The
Sheets was released and I was thrilled because it actually charted on the UK charts, I never though I'd get a #1.
AC: Thank you for coming back, isn't she brilliant, Ellie Goulding everyone! *audience claps* After the break, Ellie will
be performing her new single Asleep!
Ellie was standing in the center of the stage. There were two backup singers behind her and blue beams of light going from the
bottom to the top. The band was behind her and they started playing. The beams were moving around the stage when the chorus
came on. The backup singers helped Ellie there and for all the other choruses. The credits were playing at the bottom
of the screen as she finished the performance. The crowd cheered and Ellie left the stage with the band and backup singers.

Ellie partners with Nike (400+)
Ellie Goulding has partnered with Nike to promote their brand and her new single. Ellie will be seen in
several Nike ads and her song Asleep will be featured in their commercials. Ellie's and Nike's ads are
displayed all over LA on billboards, buses and in sport shops. These ads show Ellie Goulding running
with the Nike logo and the words "Let's Turn It Up". She's wearing a green hat, grey, black and white
exercise pants, a white jacket and a pink shirt underneath it. She's holding a phone that has white
earphones going up to her ears.
Their commercial premiered yesterday at 10AM. It shows Ellie running through LA wearing a blue Nike
top. It's bright out and she looks a bit tired. The road she's running on looks empty and it pretty
narrow. On the right, a map with many roads is shown. Below it, you can see that Ellie has been running
for almost forty minutes and that she ran over four kilometers. She keeps on running while her song Asleep
is played. Eventually she reaches a main road and runs on the streets. The scenes skip and five seconds
later, it says that Ellie has been running for one hour and ten minutes.
A Nike photoshoot featuring Ellie leaked online a few hours ago and it was revealed that she is the face
their Nike Free shoes. Posters of her wearing Nike products will be displayed in thier stores and in
many other different sports shops. Some of them are just close up of her wearing a Nike t shirt while
others show her wearing a full Nike outfit... but that's not the end. Ellie's very own Nike shoes will
be available in stores on the 28th of July. They're women's running shoes and are black and pink with
Ellie's logo inside.
Ellie Goulding will run the 'Nike Women's Marathon' in San Francisco on the 29th of July. After each
person crosses the finish line, they will receive a gift bag which will give them 20% off Asleep on
iTunes. A mini poster of Ellie Goulding from the Nike photoshoot will also be inside, as well as the
newly released Asleep remix made by Nike. They previously remixed songs from Halcyon, Ellie's second
album, and released the album on iTunes and in their stores. The last thing in the gift bag is an EP
called An Introduction To Ellie Goulding. This was released at the end of 2009 and has Ellie's first
single, Under The Sheets.
Ellie Goulding at the BRIT Awards (700+)
Singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding made her appearance at the BRIT Awards yesterday, where she was nominated
three awards. She was one of the first to arrive at the red carpet, wearing long pink dress. We got to ask her
a few questions...
Interviewer: Hi Ellie
Ellie: Hi
Interviewer: What song will you perform tonight?
Ellie: I'll be singing my current single, Asleep.
Interviewer: Are You happy with Asleep's success?
Ellie: Yeah, I don't really care if it doesn't peak high, I just want it to sell really well, and it has, it
went gold in just two weeks despite peaking at #7. If I try really hard this week, I could push it into the Top 5.
Interviewer: Do you think you can win any of your three nominations?
Ellie: I don't know, there's a lot of competition in the categories that I'm nominated for, but I guess I could
win one of them. Can't believe I was nominated for THREE awards! It's such an honor.
Interviewer: You recently announced that you changed the title of your upcoming album and there were rumours
that you will preview something for us when you perform, is this true?
Ellie: It might be true , you'll have to...
Interviewer: Wait is that Katy Perry? *runs off*
Ellie changed into a long gold dress when she went inside. Two artists performed their songs and two winners were
announced.
The nominations for British Female Solo Artists were being called out. Ellie's competition for this
category was Rita Ora, Cheryl Cole, Katy B and Lily Allen. This was presented by Nicole Scherzinger and the winner
was revealed to be...
...
Ellie Goulding!
Anything Could Happen was playing as she hugged people around her and looked really happy. Nicole announced that
this is Ellie's third BRIT Award and that her fourth album will be released next week. She handed Ellie the award
as Ellie started speaking. "Thank you so much, I'm not very good at this... I would like to say thank you to my
lovely management, Sheezus Records and my wonderful fans that have supported me. I have people around me who really
have their heart in what I do and have done since the beginning, and they've all been so passionate and that's why
I'm here. So thank you, this means so much to me, have a good night!"
Twenty minutes later, Ellie announced the winner of International Male Solo Artist. All the nominees were shown
through a video and she called out the winner and gave him the award.
Ellie's performance was up next. An introductory video was played, showing snippets of Ellie's video's while an
instrumental was playing. It sounded like the start of a song, possibly one from Ellie's upcoming album. It was
upbeat but completely different from anything she's done before. Ellie entered the stage wearing a golden bra and
white shorts. She was accompanied by fourteen dancers who were also wearing white. Asleep was playing while seven
of them played the bongos. The other seven did some choreography with Ellie and had sticks that were on fire in
their hands. When they reached the bridge, three dancers placed a drum kit in from of Ellie. Asleep stopped playing
while she went crazy playing the drums. The seven dancers were also playing their bongos but stopped when Asleep
came back on. Everyone did a lot of complicated choreography for the last chorus. For the last twenty seconds of
song, small golden ribbons were falling down. They were all over the stage and the audience. When the performance
was finished, Ellie went backstage and you could see her returning to her front row seat three minutes later.
There were still two nominations that Ellie could win. British Single Of The Year was up next. Ellie and nine
others were nominated. Unfortunately she did not win, but seem genuinely happy for the winner. The final award of
the night was about to be given out, and it was for Best British Video. This was a collection of the most viewed
British videos on Youtube and thanks to Twitter, One Direction won
The award show ended at 11PM and Ellie Goulding went home with one award!

Ellie Goulding uploads 4 new Youtube videos (400+)
Ellie Goulding just uploaded four new videos onto her Vevo account. The first one is an acoustic version
of her new single Asleep. During this video, Ellie sits on a wooden chair that has a small blue cushion
on it. She's holding an brown acoustic guitar in her hand and plays it for most of the song. One person
behind her is playing a large, black piano. This sounds very similar to the acoustic version that it
available on the Asleep Remixes EP but you can tell that Ellie isn't lip syncing.
The second video is the Calvin Harris remix of Asleep. This is just like the regular music video but much
shorter. Ellie is shown in the garden when the intro starts. The singing starts at exactly the same time
as the official music video. Some scenes have added effects in them. When Ellie and her friends are in
the car, the screen splits into four, showing the same thing but in different colors. The one in the top
right corner is normal while the others are blue, green and red. The bumper cars scene is shown in
negative colors and it stays like that for twenty-three seconds. The mirror effect is used when Ellie tries
to breathe fire and the last thirty seconds of the video are in black and white.
The third video is Ellie's I Will Never Let You Down cover. This can be purchased on the Asleep Remixes EP
Part 2. This isn't an official video, just something Ellie did for the fans. The sang is played while
she lip syncs it. One shots shows her driving a car while another shows her in a shop, trying on clothes.
The final video is a Q and A, where the questions were sent in by fans through Twitter.
Q: What are your favorite sweets?
A: I like lots of sweets but they can't be too chewy or too hard. I like Maoam and Chewits. I have Dip Dabs
with me right now.
Q: What do you think is your biggest achievement in your music career?
A: I had some pretty special moments, like I sang at the royal wedding. I have two #1 albums and a #1 single
in the UK which is pretty big. There's lots of great things I've achieved so far.
The Q and A continued for another three minutes and Ellie answered ten questions in total.
Ellie Goulding on The X Factor UK (400+)
A short introductory video was played. Bits of Starry Eyed, Burn and Asleep music video were shown.
Next it said "16 Million Singles and 4 Million Albums Sold" and at the end a voice said "Ellie Goulding"
Four motor bikes drove from one side of the stage to the other. They turned back and stopped in the middle.
The men were driving the bike and the woman were behind them. Everyone got off, Ellie was wearing a fake
leather jacket and fake leather pants. Everyone else was wearing the same clothes. She started singing and
the three woman helped her to the background vocals. The men took off their jackets and did some choreography
on the stage. When the first chorus ended, everyone went backstage for thirty seconds.
Ellie came out wearing a long white dress. Ten other dancers were also present, they were in pairs and everyone
started dancing. She danced with a man for the second verse, he took her hand and turned her around in circles.
Bright lights were flashing everywhere and two owls came from the back and were flying around the stage. There
was a couch at that side that was on fire. Ellie switched partners and started dancing with a female during the
second chorus. At the bridge, a car came out of nowhere and looked like it hit Ellie. She stumbled back and continued
singing. All the windows in the car exploded and when the last chorus came on, the car itself exploded. I wasn't a
real explosion but it looked like one. Everyone kept dancing around the car and Ellie finished off the song. The
lights dimmed and the dancers left the stage as the audience cheered. Ellie stayed for a minute to talk.
Host: Ellie Goulding!
Ellie: Thank you!
Host: So that was the lead single from your fourth album.
Ellie: Yes, yes it is.
Host: And what are you up to at the moment, cause whenever I look on Twitter it's just "Hello The Voice"
"Hello American Idol"
Ellie: Yeah I'm always promoting, it never really stops but it's all fun, it's all good.
Host: I know you've seen the show, so who's your favorite?
Ellie: Do you know what, I genuinely think some of the acts are incredible this year, I'm kind of rooting for quite
a few people.
Host: We'll see you here next time, Ellie''s single Asleep is available on iTunes now!

Ellie Goulding on The Graham Norton Show (600+)
GN: Please welcome, the amazing Ellie Goulding!
*Ellie sits down*
GN: How were the BRIT Awards last night?
Ellie: They were great. I was shocked that I won the award because of the competition. I had a front
row seat and I loved presenting for International Male Solo Artist, everyone deserved it though. My
performance was really fun. I had a great time and it's one of the best award shows I've attended.
GN: You're nominated for two VMA awards and the winners will be announced today. Are you excited or nervous?
Ellie: I'm excited but I don't think I'll win. My music video is up against some other really good videos.
I still can't wait to perform there and see everyone perform and receive their awards.
GN: Is the next video that you're shooting better than the one that's nominated?
Ellie: I think it is. I'll only start shooting it tomorrow but it's already looking better. The whole
idea is much more fun but it won't be as long as the Asleep video.
GN: So does that mean the next single will be uptempo?
Ellie: Yes, it will be. Originally I thought the second single would be a ballad but I really fell in
love with this song and it sounds like a great summer song!
GN: Where did you write this new album?
Ellie: I wrote a bit of it when I was on tour and the rest in Australia. I went there in February and
was supposed to stay in Sydney, but I stopped by a small town when I was on a tour all over Australia
and spent most of my time there. The people in this town were very nice and I made some new friends. I
felt really inspired and just couldn't stop writing.
GN: And the album is coming on Monday right?
Ellie: Yes. On Saturday I'll put up the pre-order on iTunes and if you pre-order it, you'll get the promotional
single for free. Another one will be released on Sunday but hopefully the album doesn't leak before I actually
release it.
GN: Will you be giving the fans any previews of the songs before the album is released?
Ellie: I think I'll put up a few short snippets this week. They'll be able to hear over a minute of each
song when it goes up for pre-order. I'll probably give a few lyrics away too.
GN: So will you be attending any more royal weddings soon?
Ellie: No but my friend will be having a wedding in a few weeks!
GN: Will you sing for her?
Ellie: Yeah I definitely will. I'll probably sing the same song as at the royal wedding though. It's really
fun planning the whole even with her. She is one of my best friends and I grew up with her so it means
a lot to me.
GN: Of course, she must be like family to you.
Ellie: She is.
GN: Thanks for coming Ellie, I hope to see you soon. After the break, Ellie will be performing her new song Asleep.
Ellie performed Asleep on a rectangular stage. There were blue lights shining all around the stage and two backup
singers behind her. She was wearing a pink and blue dress and had a silver necklace on. Ellie's vocals were excellent
but the performance wasn't as entertaining as her other ones. She moved around the stage and the lights followed her.
The audience clapped at the end and the Asleep artwork was shown on a screen. The camera left Ellie and she left the
stage.
Ellie Goulding on Capital FM (500+)
Interviewer: We're here with Ellie Goulding! So Ellie, are you excited about the upcoming VMAs? I know they're starting
soon so I won't keep you here long.
Ellie: I still have over five hours and yes I'm really excited. I just made a change to my performance, it was a last minute
thing because I didn't like the first one. This one is kind of inspired by one of my favorite music videos and I'm
sure that everyone will love it. It's like nothing I've ever done before. I've had the dress picked out for a week now
and my label hopes that this can boost my new single and get the public a bit more interested in the upcoming album.
Being nominated is great, even when the chances of winning are slim.
Interviewer: I think you have a chance to win, you won at the BRIT Awards just yesterday.
Ellie: That's true, but the videos that are up against mine are so good, maybe the video for my second single could win
but I'm just happy to be nominated. Winning at the BRIT Awards was huge for, I still can't believe it.
Interviewer: You've performed with many different artists but which performance was your favorite?
Ellie: Oh there's so many. One of my favorite performances would be with Taylor Swift. I'm usually alone on the stage,
only the backup singers and the band are in the back but this time I was there with someone else. It's astonishing
because she's such a huge popstar. I also loved touring with Bruno Mars. I always performed in small venues but on
his tour we only went to stadiums, it was an amazing experience.
Interviewer: How was it like performing for the president of America?
Ellie: It was pretty crazy. The band and I were very nervous about it, we'd never done something like that before. It got
better when I there and the people seemed to like my singing.
Interviewer: Of course, what's not to like. So your new album is coming in less than a week, what kind of promotion
do you have booked?
Ellie: My label booked lots of promo for me. There's gonna be lots of talk show and live performance where I'll be singing
a mix of different songs from the album. There will be a few festivals and concerts that I will sing at. I think I have
an iTunes banner that will be put up for a week, not too sure about that. I really want to see what the fans and critics
think of this album. I always want to improve and I think this might be my best album, it's by far my most experimental one.
Interviewer: I can't wait to hear this album. Good luck at the VMAs, we have your new single Asleep on repeat here. It's
our most played and most requested song of the week. See you next time Ellie.
Ellie: Thanks, I will definitely come back here soon! Bye.

Ellie Goulding on The Jonathan Ross Show (600+)
JR: We've got a special guest here with us, please welcome... Ellie Goulding.
Ellie: Hi, I'm happy to be back here.
JR: How were the VMAs last night?
Ellie: They were great. I had such a good time and I was there to support my friends who made some great videos.
I'm not surprised that I didn't win but I don't feel snubbed, lots of artists made great videos and there's
always next time. I'm pretty happy with all the winners, they really deserved it. The whole even was fun and I
enjoyed performing there in front of such a large crowd. I don't know how I pulled it off because the performance
was really exhausting, I did it somehow and my vocals weren't bad.
JR: The next award show might be the Grammys, do you think you'll get any nominations there?
Ellie: Wow, the Grammys are a big deal, I was never nominated for one but if the material is good enough, I'm sure
I'll get nominated. If the VMAs come up again, I might get nominated for Best R&B/Hip-Hop Video, my second single
kind of falls into that genre.
JR: So your second single is R&B?
Ellie: It sort of has an R&B vibe, but it's not fully R&B. I really can't reveal anything else but my fans will get
to hear the song in five days!
JR: You weren't lying, this album really will be experimental for you. Will you be going on tour any time soon?
Ellie: I might start the tour in about a month, it's not all planned out yet though.
JR: It looks like you're doing even more promo this week than you did in the previous weeks, do you expect to go Top 5?
Ellie: I do. I expected to go Top 5 last week but unfortunately I didn't. This week it looks like I'm really in the
public's eye. I'm happy enough with the songs performance anyway. It already went gold, despite the #7 peak. I'm
gonna try really hard this week, I'll nail all the performances. But I won't be mad if the song doesn't go any higher.
Light, Your Song and How Long Will I Love You were really big in the US and UK but they didn't go #1.
JR: What do you do when you're not promoting?
Ellie: Oh well I'm promoting most of the time and when I'm not doing that I'm on tour. I do have a few free hours a day
and I usually go running or sit at home and relax. I'd catch up with some TV shows or listen to music. If I'm promoting
in the UK and I have a few hours off, I'll always visit my family and friends.
JR: What kind of food do you eat on tour?
Ellie: It's really not the healthiest food, sometimes we kinda order stuff but I sometimes I have people cook healthy
food for me. At least I don't drink much alcohol or fizzy drink, I mostly drink water. I'm an unhealthy person, maybe I
used to be before but I even quit smoking because of what it did to my voice and my health.
JR: It's great that you've made yourself a healthier person, you're a real role model for many people. Our time is up
but I hope to see you soon here.
The drums started playing and Ellie began singing Asleep. There were only four dancers on the stage, doing a bit of
choreography. Ellie's vocals were great and she joined in with the dancers for the final chorus. The crowd cheered at the end.
